Mindshift BackLight Elite 45L Backpack, Storm Grey

45 litre photo daypack with back panel opening.

Get deeper into the backcountry with the BackLight® Elite 45L backpack. 45 litres of available space provides ample room for both camera gear and adventure equipment, such as a length of rope, ice axe, snowboard/skis, laptop, tablet, and of course, a tripod.

Weather-resistant zippers and materials protect your gear when trekking in the elements. And like the other BackLight backpacks, rear-panel access adds security when traveling since your camera gear is protected behind your back.
